Here is the link to the website that has the official transcript from the show... Oprah tosses the salad
Please help by letting your voice be heard.
This is a ridiculous inconsistency in policy, regardless of "intention". These are not doctors, these are just 2 people talking about DIRTY things at 4pm in the afternoon.
Also, a WAV FILE excerpt from the show...
Here is what is necessary to make a complaint to the FCC, from their website...
Quote:
In making indecency determinations, context is key! The FCC staff must analyze what was actually said during the broadcast, the meaning of what was said, and the context in which it was stated. Accordingly, the FCC asks complainants to provide the following information:
*
Information regarding the details of what was actually said (or depicted) during the allegedly indecent or obscene broadcast. There is flexibility on how a complainant may provide this information. A complainant may submit a significant excerpt of the program describing what was actually said (or depicted) or a full or partial tape or transcript of the material.
In whatever form the complainant decides to provide the information, it must be sufficiently detailed so the FCC can determine the words and language actually used during the broadcast and the context of those words or language. Subject matter alone is not a determining factor of whether material is obscene or indecent. For example, stating only that the broadcast station "discussed sex" or had a "disgusting discussion of sex" during a program is not sufficient. The use of specific, isolated words does not itself determine whether material is indecent. For example, listing only isolated words spoken by a radio announcer without more detail is not enough information for the FCC’s staff to initiate an investigation. Also, general descriptions without a detailed explanation of what was actually stated (or depicted) are generally not sufficient.
*
The date and time of the broadcast. Under federal law, if the FCC assesses a monetary forfeiture against a broadcast station for violation of a rule, it must specify the date the violation occurred. Accordingly, it is important that complainants provide the date the material in question was broadcast. A broadcaster’s right to air indecent speech is protected between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Consequently, the FCC must know the time of day that the material was broadcast.
*
The call sign of the station involved. The FCC’s obscenity/indecency enforcement program is directed at individual broadcast station licensees and not individual radio announcers, the music industry, or specific music performers. Accordingly, the FCC’s staff must know the call sign of the station that aired the material. It is not enough, for example, to name the radio announcer who made the on-air statement.
Of necessity, any documentation you provide to the FCC about your complaint becomes part of the FCC’s records and may not be returned.
Complaints containing this information should be directed to:
Federal Communications Commission
Enforcement Bureau
Investigations and Hearings Division
445 12th St., SW, Room 3-B443
Washington, DC 20554

For those who want to mail it in, here is the complete transcript of the conversation...
Quote:
WINFREY: Yeah. So you say--let's talk about that secret language, Michelle.
Ms. BURFORD: Yes.
WINFREY: I didn't know any of this.
Ms. BURFORD: I have--yeah, I have--I've gotten a whole new vocabulary, let me tell you.
WINFREY: I did not know any of this. Does this--does this mean I am no longer hip?
REED: ...(Unintelligible).
Ms. BURFORD: Salad-tossing. I'm thinking cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes. OK? I am definitely not hip.
WINFREY: OK--so--OK, so what is a salad toss?
Ms. BURFORD: OK, a tossed salad is--get ready; hold on to your underwear for this one--oral anal sex. So oral sex to the anus is what tossed salad is. Hi, Mom. OK. A rainbow party is an oral sex party. It's a gathering where oral sex is performed. And a--rainbow comes from--all of the girls put on lipstick and each one puts her mouth around the penis of the gentleman or gentlemen who are there to receive favors and makes a mark in a different place on the penis, hence, the term rainbow. So...
WINFREY: OK. And so what does pre--so what does pretty boy mean? A pretty boy.
Ms. BURFORD: Pretty boy is a sexually active boy, someone who's been fairly promiscuous. So it isn't maybe what you would have thought pretty boy meant in your time.
WINFREY: And dirty means what? Does dirty mean...
Ms. BURFORD: Dirty mean a diseased--means a diseased girl. And along with that the term that some teens are using to mean HIV is High Five, `high' and then the Roman numeral `V.' High Five. So if you got High-Fived by Jack, you got diseased by Jack. You got--you got HIV.
WINFREY: It means he gave you HIV.
Ms. BURFORD: He gave you HIV. Yeah.
WINFREY: So that means you shouldn't...
REED: Really?
WINFREY: ...go around saying to little kids anymore--I was talking to a little boy and I went `Give me high five.'
Ms. BURFORD: Yeah.
WINFREY: You shouldn't--you shouldn't do that anymore. Right.
Ms. BURFORD: And if suddenly your kids want to make salad all the time, you should be wondering. OK.
WINFREY: Yeah. OK. And boo--booty call is pretty common, right?
Ms. BURFORD: Yeah, that's--yeah, that's pretty pervasive. Yeah, that's an early morning or late-at-night call for sex that involves no real relationship. Maybe 2 AM, guy calls girl, and says, `Meet me at so and so location, we have sex, we leave, booty call. You all got that, right?
WINFREY: Y'all knew that one, right? OK.
Ms. BURFORD: And then there's the term hoovering, which is a term used for a girl having an abortion, the--the--yes, you get--you get the reference, the sucking of a Hoover vacuum. She's having herself vacuumed out, so to speak. So these were just a few of the terms that I, you know, heard teens referring to. I got a whole new vocabulary book. You know...
REED: So did I.
Ms. BURFORD: Really.
WINFREY: So what happened when they would say she got hoovered to you?
Ms. BURFORD: She got...
WINFREY: Well, if somebody--if you're talking to somebody in the beginning before you got so hip here...
Ms. BURFORD: Right. Yeah. Before I got hip.
WINFREY: ...yeah, what would you--what would you--if somebody said she got hoovered, you would just say, `What do you mean by that?'
Ms. BURFORD: I said--yeah, `What do you mean? What do you mean? What does hoovering mean?' And she'd tell me.
WINFREY: Are rainbow parties pretty common?
Ms. BURFORD: I think so. At least among the 50 girls that I talked to, this was--this was pervasive.
WINFREY: Yeah.
Ms. BURFORD: Yeah.
WINFREY: And--and what are the guys saying about all this?
Ms. BURFORD: Well, I didn't talk to guys, but certainly in the experiences that I've had in talking to the boys, they don't see sex--and this should be no surprise to any of us--in the same way that girls see it. They don't see it as a way to feel closer or to have the kind of intimacy that maybe a girl is looking for. They see it as a way to earn stripes or be cool with the other guys.
WINFREY: Yeah.
Ms. BURFORD: And let me tell you something. Girls are doing more giving than they are getting. They are giving the boys the oral sex. Absolutely. Some of the boys aren't even asking them for it and they are offering it.
